Acylphenolato(hydrido)cobalt(III) complexes Co(η2-CO,O)H(PMe3)3 (CO,O=1-carbonyl-2-oxo-5-tert-butyl-cyclohexendiyl; 1-carbonyl-2-oxo-cyclohexendiyl) by reaction with 2-nitrophenol eliminate dihydrogen and are converted to 2-nitrophenolatocobalt(III) compounds. With the former dianionic ligand an intermediate tris(phosphine) compound 1 containing a η1-nitrophenolato group is shown to adopt a meridional configuration in the crystal. In solution a η2-nitrophenolato coordination mode is usually attained after dissociation of one of the trimethylphosphines resulting in cis and trans isomers of bis(phosphine) compounds 2 and 3. bis(Phosphine) complexes 5-7 (cis, trans) were also obtained from Co(η2-CO,O)H(PMe3)3 (CO,O-1-carbonyl-2-oxo-3,4-benzo-cyclohexendiy1; 1-carbonyl-2-oxo-1,2-diphenyl-ethendiyl) and 2-nitronaphthol. No reduction of nitro groups neither by free PMe3 nor by excess CoH complex was observed although the corresponding nitrosonaphtholato complexes 8 and 9 were readily formed upon combining Co(η2-CO,O)H(PMe3)3(CO,O=1-carbonyl-2- oxo-5-tert-butyl-cyclohexendiyl; 1-carbonyl-2-oxo-1,2-diphenyl-ethendiyl) and 2-nitrosonaphthol.
